MANCHESTER.

Six miles east of Wichita, on the Frisco
railroad, lies the beautiful, town site of Man
chester. No better location for a suburban
town can be found around US; its position il
high and commanding; the water is good,
the country just rolling enough for drain
age, and its motor line" already built.
Our old friend, c. B Luilam, who owns
part Of the town site, often says to visitors
as the Frisco train dashes past: There's
rapid transit for you; only ten minutes to
Wichita" And it is true. Here is nice,
healthy, airy location for suburban homes
which can be reached in one-third the time
it now takes to get to our own suburbs,
Carey park or College hill, and yet it has
never been utilized
We are glad to nots the property is to be
at once improved and put on the market.
Our city surveyor, Mr. Mulvey, has just
completed survey and plat of Manchester,
and it il without doubt the best laid out
town site in Ssdgwick county. Every other
block along the railroad is to be public
park. The main street is 125 feet
wide, with narrow park for
trees in the center. Other streets are
90 to 100 feet and the lots are of large size
with wide alleys in rear.
A nice station is to be built at once, and
the railroad promises to give reduced rates
for one hundred trip tickets to Wichita.
Trains now run SO that one can come in or
go out either morning or evening, AMI the
people ali along the line are desiring an &C
commodai ion train which the Frisco will put
on as soon as convinced that it will pay ex-
penses. Mr. Ludlam has been appointed
postmaster and will be local agent Of the
town company. Mr.. Hyde, of this city is
president. See ad in another column.

MORE THEFrS.

The gang of petit thieves that infest the
city were around again last night.
One of the places visited was the residence
of w. A. Polk, North Emporia. The rascals
gained entrance by a window in Mr.. Folks
room and made their exit through q rear
door, It is not exactly known what all was
taken, but among the articles missed was a
solid gold watch and chain belonging to Mrs.
Polk, also turquoise rings and pear. han
died revolver.
Entrance to Posts jewelry store was gained
by breaking in one of thelarge front windows.
The thives managed to get away with two
fine revolvers and several other articles OF
value. The theft is supposed to have been
committed about 4 o'clock. Mr.. Mathew,
saw a man lying upon the steps in the real
of the building shortly after midnight
When he ordered the fellow away he pre-
tended drink and staggered away for 9
short distance. 1t is supposed that this il
the man who afterwards returned an d com
mtted the robbery.

NEW YORK FINANCIER on WICHITI

The attention of our local reade. is called
to an article elsewhere from the New York

most careful and conservative business pa
pers in the United states, being established
in 1897. The article is from the pen of one
Of the proprietors, Mr.. Marquand, son OF
the great railway magnate, and who spent
last Sunday a weak in our city in company
with several Missouri Pacific railway Off
cials. The day was very unpleasant one,
being windy and dusty, but as We knew at
the time, Mr.. n. was greatly impressed with
all that he saw. he had inst come in from
the south and from Fl. Smith directly here.
His observations and conclusions are, there
fore, worthy Of consideration, and will have
great weight in New York financial circles,
the Commercial Advertisar being the organ
OF the monied men largely. As We said Mr..
Marquand saw the worst possible side Of
Wichita on dusty day and Sunday at that.

A Nice, Quiet Trip.

1.-THE queerest wedding trip l ever heard
Off said the station master at the west side

couple were from little corn and hog sta
ton down on the Burlington, and they came

into the waiting room up stairs and remained
there the whole day. AT noon they brought
ont bit of lunch and ate it together. Only
once or twice did the groom venture beyond
tue station walls, and the cries of the hack
men quickly frightened him back Inc bride
had n great curiosity to go over closer to the
river. so she could see the shipping, but the
groom was afraid to leave the station for
fear of getting lost. Notwithstanding the
seeming monotony of the day they were as
happy as CLAIMS all day long sitting a-hold of
each others hands. When evening came they

were doubtless received as a hero and heroine
